Reverb (short for reverberation) is the acoustic environment that surrounds a sound. Natural reverb exists everywhere. Whether the space being described is a bathroom or a gymnasium, the essential characteristics remain the same. Reverb is composed of a series of tightly-spaced echoes. The number of echoes and the way that they decay play a major role in shaping the sound that you hear. Many other factors influence the sound of a reverberant space.
Vascular calcification (VC) is a predictor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Hemodialysis (HD) patients suffer from severe vascular calcifications. Matrix Gla protein (MGP) is a central calcification inhibitor of the arterial wall and its activity depends on vitamin K-dependent Î³-glutamate carboxylation. Noncarboxylated MGP, formed as a result of vitamin K deficiency, is associated with cardiovascular disease.
Serum protein electrophoresis showing a paraprotein (peak in the gamma zone) in a patient with multiple myeloma. A myeloma protein is an abnormal immunoglobulin fragment or immunoglobulin light chain that is produced in excess by an abnormal clonal proliferation of plasma cells, typically in multiple myeloma.Other terms for such a protein are M protein, M component, spike protein, or paraprotein.This proliferation of the myeloma protein has several deleterious effects on the body, including impaired immune function, abnormally high viscosity (thickness) of the blood, and kidney damage.ther terms for such a protein are M protein, M component, spike protein, or paraprotein.
